Lot details
Registration No: BF 4827
Chassis No: A844585
Mot Expiry: Exempt

- Ex-Australia example imported to UK in 2000, UK registered in 2008 by the vendor

- Stored in heated garage, a video of the car running may be viewed online

- Sparingly used and now only being offered for sale to make space for another vehicle

The Dodge was hugely popular following its introduction in 1914. Production in the 1920's was prodigious thanks to excellent reliability coupled with toughness and straight forward engineering. It's little surprise that buyers in remote areas such as Australia recognised the benefits of such a product. After the Dodge Brothers died in 1920 the company was sold in 1925 for $146m, the largest cash transaction in industrial finance then known.

This example finished in Burgundy / Black wings with Brown interior was originally resident in Australia before coming to the UK in June 2000. The car then sat around before being acquired by the vendor and correctly registered in 2008. Described by him as being in "good overall condition for its age having developed a fantastic period patina", BF 4827 has been used sparingly in his ownership and always kept in a heated garage. New tyres were fitted and a video of the car running is viewable on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVXKRrV6_Ic

Offered with Swansea V5c and currently on SORN, she is said to have "average" bodywork and paintwork with "good" engine, transmission and interior trim. Weather gear accompanies the car and it is only being offered for sale to make space for another project.

Behind the rear seats is a storage area where you will find two spare inner tubes, a screw jack, two fan belts and other assorted spares including a magneto points assembly. Also present is a set of reproduction Dodge owners/workshop manuals, original importation documents and original Australian number plate 'VIC 3.660'.
 

All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.

You can collect your new pride and joy from our venue until 1pm the day following the sale or our partners are on hand to help arrange safe transportation:
